If your idea of a modern wedding includes stark, neutral design, then let this new and colourful wedding trend prove you wrong! One of our favourite new trends in a while, modern colour-blocking is popping up everywhere from abstract backdrops and tablescapes, to flowers, stationery and cake. The main idea of this colour blocking trend is to combine different colours and hues but with clean lines to break them up. Create a more muted pairing with two shades of the same colour family or go wilder and try three or four eye-popping hues. The more different they are, the bolder the contrast will be. Defo one for the colour lovers, we’re very excited about seeing this trend come to life in our real weddings!
